I'd encourage fans to take a few minutes, answer the questions and pass along your thoughts. I'm not saying it will make any difference but I do know if fans don't tell management how they feel, NOTHING will certainly change.

I tried, but it crashed for me.

filled out the survey...

I fill out surveys for the Sox year after year. They still haven't picked up Mike Trout like I have asked.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Darn. I should have read this before I filled it out.

 

 

 

I threw down with "crestfallen".

i do not think they will like my honesty.

 

 

Filled it out. Wrote about half a page on how this team is unprofessional, managed piss poorly and boring. Used the term embarrassed.

I put embarrassed

 

So did I.

My one word: Disappointed

I put disappointed as well. I said I was very disappointed. I didn't use the 'E' word. I also said I was disappointed at the team's continued suckage vs. the Central.

I feel sorry for whoever has to read these. Definitely used the word embarrassed among other things.

Hopefully they get sent to upper Front Office. They need put on notice. We have some real talent in the minors but still a ways away. They better figure out a way to add an impact bat rather than spend $$$ on Shark.

Well, they're for sure going to learn if they don't know already that Sox fans are not in real good moods. I actually used the word "optimistic" though. I couldn't help it because frankly I am. Not for this season any more but in general, I am.

Optimistic for '17 not '16 for me.

Yeah, most likely. Summing up how you feel about a team in one word is.........rather difficult. Many words come to mind.

Why optimistic? I know our pitching is great but it's been allegedly great for some time now and we continue to be a last place team in the Central. I don't really think Saladino and Sanchez are the answer despite their good gloves and Eaton and Avi are still question marks for the future. You guys like our setup men, I think they blow. Petricka and Putnam are average at best and Duke isn't that reliable. Robertson is great but still blows a lotta saves.

Flowers' long streaks of suckage are a constant problem and Lexi is old. So why are you optimistic.

Anderson has to be great or we are in a world of hurt.

I tried to be tactful in the final survey question. My one word answer to describe how I feel about the Sox right now was HEAVYHEARTED. I also addressed the issue that in the last 10 years or more, besides Thomas Ventura and Crede, when is the last time that scouting, drafting and player deveopement brought up HOME GROWN IMPACT Bat/position player whether a consistent 300 hitter or a 35-40 homerun bat that doesn't strike out 200 times. It seems whoever we develope can't ever hit over 240 in the SHOW. It seems that any IMPACT bats that we obtain always have to gotten from other sources outside of our organization. Player developement, scouting and drafting has proven to be futile in the hitting department, and yet year after year the same people remain on board while expecting different results. Just doesn't make sense. Anyway, I doubt anyone in the front office will read it or even "give a hoot" about our opinions, but I wrote them down anyway. (Lastly, my comments were not all negative. I left some positives, but for time and reading space, I'll end my post here)

That was my one word too.(!)

Eaton is currently sporting a .767 OPS. He is no longer a question mark, he has put up 4.9 WAR in little over a season and a half. Please pretend like you somewhat follow the team.
